A total of 18 star plaques now shine brightly on Ōrewa’s Walk of Fame, following the unveiling of stars for veteran Kiwi entertainers Eddie Low and Brendan Dugan on September 7.
Around 50 people, including MP Mark Mitchell, gathered to see Walk of Fame owner Gary Brown present Eddie and Brendan with their stars.
Both Eddie and Brendan began their careers in the 1960s and were household names, including regular appearances on the TV show That’s Country in the 1980s.
“Eddie’s resumé is like a novel,” Gary commented.
Both Eddie and Brendan agreed it was an honour to have a star placed in Ōrewa in their name, and thanked Gary Brown and everyone who attended the unveiling, although Brendan added, referring to the age of some star recipients, that “if you get this award, there’s a chance you won’t be here next year!”
The first star went down on the NZ Walk of Fame in 2010. It is designed to celebrate Kiwi musicians, as well as actors and entertainers of film, television and theatre.
